Island hopping to Niijima and Shikinejima, floating offshore.
A 2-night, 3-day island trip by boat, bicycle, and on foot.
Depart on a large passenger ship at night, with the night view of Tokyo in the background. When you wake up the next morning, you will be greeted by an extraordinary view.
On the first day, start cycling from the port of Niijima, feeling the sea breeze. After exploring the town of Niijima, which is built with “Koga stone”, visit a workshop where you can learn about the unique food culture of Niijima, “kusaya,” and salt making. Enjoy hiking with views of beautiful white beaches and milky blue seas that look like a foreign country. In the evening, take a ferry to neighboring Shikine Island, and indulge in the island’s seafood and hot springs to your heart’s content.
On the second day, start with meditation at a temple. After calming your mind, set off for fishing experiences and scenic hot spring tours. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and join us for a special journey filled with discovery and encounters, where the unique characteristics of Niijima Island and Shikinejima Island weave together to create a vibrant tapestry of colors.
